Sure it wasn’t a sticky date....puddin!



The nursing home got it’s second all staff and residents all negative over the weekend, so rather government nanny has gone, they can leave their rooms and the dining room is open again. My dad doesn’t leave his room but my FIL. Does.

I booked a window visit for Wednesday, you use your mobile, they give them a phone, and I’m guessing they have a room set up. Haven’t seen him since before lockdown 2 level 3, they locked down early.

Great news Ken, they are definitely a lot quicker atm, probably helped by a lot lower number of tests to process.

My BILs came back negative in just over a day as well.

Nice.

Again shows that the cold and hayfever still get around, having the sniffles doesn't mean you got the Rona

Exactly, saw a great one on Facebook the other day listing all the new symptoms of Covid!!!

The press conference each day saying the flu is non existent, it must be Covid, yet 15-30,000 people a day have coughs or sniffles and get tested every single day and only about 300-500 have Covid.

Finished the taxes! Go Me!!

I bought myself an A3 photoprinter when i got my camera fixed a couple of months back, and today i printed a picture of my girls i took at my nephews wedding early last year, i waited til about a month ago to edit it, because, to me, its the perfect shot of them. the lighting was harsh, full sun 34 degrees, but i did the right thing and shot them in the shade, under a tree in front of a lake but juniors fake tan, had me stumped, so i waited til i knew i could edit it to a standard id be happy with. It came out amazing! Im always worried my pics wont translate to print, but i just ordered a 50x75 canvas for hubby for his photo wall at his workshop, and a 75 x 100 for the house! its nice to feel confident! cheers

Got my dog back from the village. New home, much smaller but she seems to have taken to it. Mind you the cats around the place have disappeared. Good dog.

Driving around at 2am with no one else on the roads, shortens the trip considerably!

2 days off starting tomorrow after a torrid fortnight at work with lots of overtime. Now for two days off: first in two weeks, working double shifts, an extra day, extra hours. Very busy.

Got 4 x 17 week old chickens delivered yesterday. Nice looking chicks 2 x Australorp / New Hampshire mix and 2x Rhode Island Red / New Hampshire mix. Very friendly and good layers apparently. Haven’t had chickens since the kids were young.
